American Playboy: The Hugh Hefner Story

Hugh Hefner convinces his new subscription manager to pose as the magazines first centerfold and "the girl next door" becomes Playboys formula for success.

To bring Playboys bachelor lifestyle to the public, Hugh Hefner opens the Playboy Club in Chicago and creates the perfect nightlife hostess - the bunny.

Hefner becomes addicted to an amphetamine drug that lets him work around the clock, using the pages of the magazine to fight for civil rights and ultimately publish what would become Martin Luther King Jrs final written words.

Hugh Hefners secretary and close friend, Bobbie Arnstein, finds herself at the center of a conspiracy to take down the Playboy empire and her loyalty to Hefner proves deadly.

With Playboy on the brink of bankruptcy, Hefner sacrifices friends and leans on family to secure the brands future.
